The FIT truly is like Family. Jared(owner) and each of his staff members acknowledge you by name each and every time you walk through the door. They are knowledgeable, encouraging, VERY patient and NEVER judgmental.Small group training sessions always change so youll never be bored.The FIT is for all fitness levels, exercises can be modified to your level ensuring everyone has a great workout.You may think they do not notice but Jared and his staff are always watching and any one of them will come over and make corrections if needed and tell you what a great job you are doing.Attitude starts at the top. This is so true at the FIT, starting with Jared and continuing with his staff and even members of the FIT.Awesome place to be, give it a try. You will LOVE it!!

The Fit is not your average ordinary workout experience... I think it is life changing in many ways! No judgment and no expectations other than bettering yourself in a fun and welcoming environment. Looking for high intensity? The Fit trains serious athletes with unconventional training for amazing results! Looking to shape up and simply loose weight? The Fit delivers results at a reasonable pace that allows you to feel better every day! Im 50 and 230lbs. The Fit has quickly made me feel 30 again, I feel great! No more sore back, my knee feels better, my back doesnt hurt anymore, I do t have any groin muscle pain and I can tie my dam shoes without a painful effort! Dont wait another day to give this place a try. Your new life and/or best performance starts with one visit to this friendly group called The Fit! Do it...

Definitely the most advanced training from here to Chicago. Jared and all of the trainers at the fit combine proper training techniques, creativity and a dose of fun to create interesting, challenging and effective workouts every single day. You can choose between 2-3 styles of workouts each day to meet your fitness goals. Don’t worry about specific injuries because every trainer knows how to make modifications to work through anything you throw their way. Don’t waste your time going anywhere else if your goal is to get into shape FAST.

Great classes, great workouts, great instructors and a great atmosphere. I love the community and people but the programming keeps me coming back. The variety of workouts are challenging but fun. The trainers keep you motivated and push you to keep getting better. The Fit has been the best establishment for my mental and physical well-being.

I joined The FIT almost 10 years ago and can honestly say it changed my life! The passion, knowledge, professionalism and expertise of the owner Jared is second to NONE. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to change the way they look and feel. This is absolutely not a quick fix, nor is it easy in any way. If youre willing to listen, learn and work hard you will not be disappointed. Its a lifestyle and its a family who love, support and encourage one another.

What a wonderful gym! My 2 daughters who play/played Division 1 volleyball talked me into starting 7 months ago. They have been going for quite a few years now, they love it and it has kept them in great condition to play the sport that they love. I was very intimated at first and didnt know if I could do it, but I felt welcomed right away and all of the trainers were very willing to work with me at the level that I was at. I feel that I have improved, but I still have a long way to go, but I know that they will get me there, I learn new things every week! I have lost 10 pounds and feel in better shape than I have been in decades! Try The Fit, you wont regret it!!

You feel like youre FAMILY! And I finally LOVE to work out!!! Amazing staff, friendly, knowledgeable and ACTUALLY care about their members. Always greeting you on a first name basis, smiles, funny, laid back and are there to really help you achieve and maintain your fitness goals! You will NOT find another gym for the value THE FIT offers. Small groups with trainers near by, always watching and supervising making sure you are doing the exercises correctly! And most of time its never the same workout, so its never boring, most of the time FUN! Atmosphere is always upbeat and positive!!! Everyone is there for the same reason, to get FIT! I guarantee you will love this place!!! Give them a try!

By far the best gym in Rockford. I have gotten rid of my lower back issue, lost 22 pounds of fat, and gained 6 pounds of muscle. It has changed the quality of my life. I have noticed my hobbies are so much easier. I run, mountain bike, and hike and in all areas I feel stronger. Not to mention every day life… no longer concerned about lifting heavy things. I have never seen so much equipment in a gym. The trainers are all excellent and we continually do different exercises so it never gets boring or repetitive. Great choice in music as well! These trainers can help you achieve any goal!

I can’t say enough good things about The FIT. Not only are the workouts amazing but the trainers are unbelievable and the members are inspiring. The gym has so much positive energy, it makes you want to go and be part of it! I love how the mentality of the trainers is to be strong and healthy not to have the best beach body, that comes naturally when you workout there!

I’ve never been to a better fitness center than The Fit, and there’s not a close second place. The combination of the extremely knowledgeable and motivational staff, along with the non-judgmental atmosphere provides an experience that delivers results. After joining The Fit, I can’t imagine going to another gym.

Engaging, skilled trainers are a huge asset. Constantly changing workouts in small groups that challenge my abilities. I have seen huge changes in my balance, strength and muscle tone. I have been a member of The Fit for several years and could not envision ever moving to a different workout format. It doesn’t hurt that the membership is all very friendly and makes the work out environment fun.

I have worked out with Jared since 2003, when he was a trainer at the Y. I followed him wherever he landed, because no other trainer was quite the same. Jared finally opened his own gym and The FIT has continued to challenge me for 18 years!! The trainers are educated, receptive, and in tune with each and every the client and their needs, and remain dedicated to making sure you get the best workout and results you can achieve. In addition, it is like a family, and everyone is welcome. No judging, no harsh competition; just acceptance and respect!

I’ve been going to The Fit for almost 8 years now and I love it. I’ve had three children and through all my pregnancies I continued to workout at The Fit. They kept me in shape during pregnancy and got me back into shape after all of them. I’ve continued to grow and learn, even after all these years, I still am always learning something new and being challenged in different ways! By far the best gym I’ve ever been apart of and I will forever be apart of The Fit family!

The fit offers a variety of exercise options that are closely monitored to ensure you’re performing the movements with good form as this prevents injury. They worked with myself and my husband as beginners to show modifications to movements which is key. The staff are friendly and attentive. They aren’t busy on their phones or too distracted visiting with others while they are overseeing people exercise which is really important to us. The people that attend are also kind and welcoming. There are people in all phases of health working to make positive changes and I’m grateful I have The Fit a try. You can go for free 3 times to determine if they are right for you.

I joined The Fit 8 years ago after a friends recommendation. I needed guidance and encouragement so that I wouldnt get hurt or give up. The work-outs were so awesome that I was hooked! The trainers have a different work-out every day so its never boring; plus the work-outs work for any fitness level. They are so accommodating and have the knowledge and experience of what is best. The Fit helped me get into shape 8 years ago, prepared me for my battle with breast cancer, and now is helping me get back to where I was prior to cancer. I cant imagine my life without The Fit...its a gym filled with so much more than exercise equipment! Try it out and see for yourself!

The staff, and members are great. It’s fun working out in a class setting. Being almost 65, and having only started a true exercise regimen 6 years ago, Jared has worked to challenge me as I grow in overall fitness, with a personal touch. The equipment is well maintained and new challenges are presented regularly.

I would 100% give this place a try if you are looking for a change. The Trainers are great! Seriously, if you are Big or Small in shape or out of shape and ready to make a change this is where you should be. Best part is they make you want to do better.

Ive been to big gyms, class like gyms, Crossfits, but The Fit has become my favorite of all. Jared, Gabby, Beckkie, and Hayden are all incredible. If something isnt at my fitness level, they know how to personalize it for me. There is accountability here. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

I have been a member of The FIT for the past 9 years. I fear the day I move away and have to find another gym. The FIT is more than a gym, it is family. The workouts are always different each day, challenging at all levels, exceptional knowledge, and FUN, FUN, FUN!!! Thank you Jared and all trainers for all you do for me and my daughter!

I’ve tried many times to stick to a workout program with little success. I started at The Fit a couple years ago and it finally worked! The trainers make the workouts fun and always challenging. The workouts are designed to help improve movement throughout your daily life. They will adjust workouts to fit your personal needs. There are new fitness challenges all the time to push you to your best. Totally worth giving it a try!

The Fit has literally changed my life. I have tried every other gym type and nothing stuck, I would quickly lose motivation and the gym became an after thought. When I joined The Fit I knew almost immediately that I found the one. It truly is like a big family, everyone was so welcoming and I felt that everyone was rooting for me to succeed. I have been with The Fit for just over 18 months and I am seeing results like never before. I have more energy and my overall health has drastically improved. I have to warn you however, be prepared to buy a new wardrobe, my clothes are literally falling off.I can’t say enough good things about The Fit, my only regret is not finding this place sooner.Thank you to all the The Fit Trainers & clients....I couldn’t ask for a better group of people !

I trained with Jared at the YMCA many years ago and learned so much about fitness and gained a passion for health, consistency and goals!. I moved to Byron 13 years ago and chose to leave the Y and stay local. Thankfully some of my besties still trained with Jared at The Fit and said that I should make the drive to Rockford. At the time I thought it was only going to be temporary, and figured there was no way I was going to make a drive to Rockford when Byron has some great gyms that are local. it has been 2 years now and I have been making the drive 4-5 days a week! Why? Because Jared, the trainers and the classes are by far in my opinion the best out there!

The Fit has taught me that my healthy journey is about balance. Mentally and physically, they have helped me learn that life isnt about less when it comes to working out, its about more. Its ok to eat more, its ok to lift heavy, its ok to be strong. In fact its way more than ok. This is the place to go if you want to feel like you belong to a community that accepts everyone and anyone without judgement. Only with acceptance and encouragement whatever your journey may be. Now get in here.
